Good recipe, but needs beef bouillon or broth added for flavor -without may lack taste & be "watery". Will use again with this modification

I love this excellent soup! I loved that there was enough liquid and the barley didn't make it too thick, as I like my soups to have alot of broth. Best recipe I"ve tried for this type of soup. Thanks!
